ABSTRACT Background Regional anesthesia, while offering numerous clinical advantages, can paradoxically heighten intraoperative anxiety and stress due to patients remaining conscious throughout surgical procedures. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the impact of immersive virtual reality (VR) on intraoperative anxiety, stress markers, and patient

Time‐Dependent Predictive Accuracy Metrics in the Context of Interval Censoring and Competing Risks
ABSTRACT Evaluating the performance of a prediction model is a common task in medical statistics. Standard accuracy metrics require the observation of the true outcomes. This is typically not possible in the setting with time‐to‐event outcomes due to censoring.

Scarring and Selection in the Great Irish Famine
Abstract How do famines shape the health of survivors? We examine the long‐term impact of the Great Irish Famine (1845–52) on human stature, distinguishing between adverse scarring effects and the apparent resilience of survivors due to selection. Using anthropometric data from more than 14500 individuals born before, during, and after this famine, we ...

ABSTRACT Elite performance in Olympic winter sports depends on the interplay among the athlete, equipment, and the snow or ice. This naturally evolves with temperature, humidity, wind, preparation, and contact between the equipment and its surface. Together, these factors continuously rebalance the forces of gravity, aerodynamic drag, and friction ...

2^N Discretisation of BioPhasor in Cancellable Biometrics [PDF]
BioPhasor was introduced as a form of cancellable biometrics which integrates a set of user-specific random numbers (RN) with biometric features. This BioPhasor was shown to fulfil diversity, reusability and performance requirements in cancellable biometrics formulation.
